I have an old copy of Appleshare IP 6.0 running on a Powermac 7100. The computer had been having to problems prior to the installation, and now it crashes about 4/5 times on startup. I have no idea what is causing this...
For appleshare ip, I installed OpenDoc 1.2.1, the appleshare Ip 6 bundle, and I updated OS 8.5 to 8.6.

any suggestions more than welcome.

Boot with the MacOS All extension set (space bar at bootup, or using the Extensions Manager control panel).

Gradually add extensions, sorted by package; continue until you find the problem, then eliminate it.

A PRAM zap wouldn't go astray either (Apple-Option-P-R at startup, release after the third chime). Do that first, actually.

I just found out that when FileSharing/Appletalk is turned off before a restart, everything goes fine. After startup, I just re enable them and I'm back in business. Nice. I'm not sure why, but I'll just leave it at some kind of software conflict and just live with it.[/LIST]
